Irradiation growth of zirconium single crystals

Cluster Dynamics modelling of irradiation growth of zirconium single crystals

“…The DAD effect will be taken into account. We will apply the model to the experimental results published by Rogerson [18] in 1987 (who continued the work by Carpenter et al [19] in 1980) on growth of Zr single crystals irradiated with neutrons at 553 K. Particular attention will devoted to the 'breakaway growth' effect.…”

Neutron irradiation performance of Zircaloy-4 under research reactor operating conditions

“…Holt and Gilbert (1986) examined the hci type dislocation loop of annealed zircaloys under a high fluence with 8.6 Â 10 25 n/m 2 between 553 and 584 K. In these results, hci-loops were observed for annealed zircaloy-2 and zircaloy-4 at greater than 3.0 Â 10 25 n/m 2 , while hai-loops were only shown for specimens irradiated with fluence below 3.0 Â 10 25 n/m 2 . Further work by many authors confirmed that hai-loops nucleate from the beginning of the irradiation, while hci-loops form above a threshold dose only, indicating that the kinetics of the formation of hai and hci-type loops differ (Bacon, 1993;Carpenter et al, 1981Carpenter et al, , 1988Frank, 1988;Holt and Gilbert, 1986;Hood, 1988;Jostsons et al, 1977aJostsons et al, , 1977bNorthwood et al, 1979;Osetsky et al, 2002;Pasianot and Monti, 1999;Was, 2007;Woo, 1979;Woo, 1988Woo, , 2000Woo and Liu, 2009). …”

Stability of oxide particles under electron irradiation in a 9Cr ODS steel at 400 °C

“…High voltage electron microscopes (HVEMs) are considered to be indispensable irradiation facilities for electron irradiation experiments [7][8][9][10][11]. Radiation induced defects and their kinetics in HVEMs have been developed in 1960s [7].…”
